| 10 Apr 11:00 am 12:00 pmIn this course students will be instructed in how to program in Python. Ultimately students will learn how to use Python to analyze, process and visualize data. This course is designed for students with little to no experience in programming. This is a graduate course that can be taken for by UofT Biochemistry graduate students. Those students should enrol using ACORN/ROSI. | BCH2203 - Winter 2024 |
| 10 Apr 1:00 pm 2:30 pmIn about 90 minutes, learn how to use the SciNet systems Niagara and Mist, from securely logging in to running computations on the supercomputer. Experienced users may still pick up some valuable pointers.Format: Virtual Virtual | HPC105 - Apr 2024 |
| 15 Apr 1:00 pm 4:00 pmLearn how to write bash scripts, use environment variables, how to control process, and much more. Requires some Linux basic command line experience.Note: this event has been moved from April 8th to April 15th.Format: Virtual Virtual | SCMP201 - Apr 2024 |
| 17 Apr 12:00 pm 1:00 pmBuying a new supercomputer that both maximises total performance, given our budget, and whose architecture suits our users' workloads is a very difficult balancing act. There are a wide range of decisions to be made, such as: CPU architecture; node count; memory size/bandwidth; GPU count; interconnect type; storage size; filesystem type/bandwidth; cooling type and power budget to name but a few. In order to balance all of these constraints we need to come up with a scoring system to compare potential candidate supercomputers. In this talk we describe the Scalable System Improvement (SSI) metric and apply it to the system refresh of Niagara & Mist. Virtual | COCO - 17 Apr 2024 |
